**ADDIE'S POV**
Before I knew it, the second set of exams had started and ended for this year. Nolan and I headed back home with most of the other students. It was going to be a quick yet calming break from the Academy. And, of course, Nolan made sure that I spent the bulk of it with him.
He truly was feeling needy and lonely, and I wasn't sure why. He saw me every day, talked to me every day, just not as my fiancé. I guess that made a difference in his eyes. To me, any time that I saw him was a pleasant time for me. It just showed how differently we saw the same situations.
Two short weeks later, Nolan and I were back on the carriage, heading back to the Academy. The third and final term of the year was beginning soon, and I was excited to see what was in store for me. This term was going to be a little easier for me to handle than the others.
